[Fix] YouTube not allowing Ad Blocker - Delete site storage

[Fix] YouTube not allowing Ad Blocker - Delete site storage

Hello, YouTube is not allowing me to watch videos because I have Ad Blocker.

I'm not sure if this solution has already been discussed, but this is one way to fix it: delete site storage/cache (please see screenshot).

  1. Open Dev Tools in your browser (press F12)
  2. Go to "Application" tab or "Storage" tab depending on your browser
  3. Clear storage, starting with Cookies (right click, delete). Refresh to test if video loads. If not, delete Session storage and refresh. If still blocked, delete Local storage and so on.

After doing this, I was able to resume watching videos as normal, at least for now. The downside is that it may log you out (I was not able to pinpoint which storage causes videos to be disabled, but please let me know). Hope this post helps someone, somewhere :)
